Boosting your website can still happen when your comment contains good content and makes other readers interested in what you have to say on your own blog/website.

A website grows and develops over time - and one of the great things for me personally is that because I love writing, it gives me the opportunity to express myself through blogging. Although I understand from some of the more seasoned bloggers that you have to be prepared to be in it for the long haul and things don't happen overnight - but if you enjoy it and have something to say just get going.

One things though: WP is indeed very good (and "free") but does need a bit more css and html knowledge if you want to change various items in the layout etc. For years we are on a paid for blog platform Typepad which does not have that 'draw back'. The technical support of Typepad is very, very good too. So if you want a easy to implement, edit and add to blog platform that can be up and running within 5 minutes from the moment you create your account and don't know too much about css or html then I can highly recommend Typepad for this.
